There are countries that exist and also aren't the US of A. We had remote schooling here for two years. My kids are included in that cohort. And it absolutely fucked up their social development in ways we are still trying to comprehend and address. Doubly so given that we're a neurodivergent family.

Don't minimize our experience with an, "I don't believe this."

e: Also, I can't breathe properly anymore. Dad not being able to ascend steps to the home without being in pain also affected the kids.

Oh shit, oh fuck, this is a huge development. I would be feeling feelings right now if I were aware of such a thing. But I am not, for emotions are a mystery to one such as I.

YOU WILL LISTEN TO THE POD. YOU WILL CONSUME THE BUGGY APP.

Still love the truck tho

I've been reading this title all day as "gross pastries" and now I really want to eat a strudel. So thanks for that.

You'd think every libertarian weirdo out there would be 101% on board with Hamas. Their existence is the end product of what happens when the government takes all peaceful options off the table: you must be prepared to do violence, because there is no other choice but death.

"What did you do this weekend?"

"I went to the second, secret Burning Man where they immolate an actual man."

I get the whole Nazi Speedrunner angle, but what did serial abuser and sex pest Bill Murray do now?

Animals are far more intelligent than we give them credit for. They pick up on social cues so subtle that we don't even know we're doing them.

bozo's still RIP'ing in piss, I'm having a kickass day.

Yeah, sounds about right. Based on current trends, it's around the time the UK needs a new PM.

A person could spend the rest of their life in there.

Yet another predictable Boeing crash coming up soon.

Ever the dedicated Maoist, she made sure to put a couple holes in the sparrow Baby Jeezy is holding, too.

The music industry and failing to understand technology, name a more iconic duo.

Broadly, the main issue is the intentional targeting of civilians, specifically to both break the citizens' morale, and for Bomber Command to puff their chests at the advancing Red Army. While the rail yards near the city center were a valid military target, the attack only ended up destroying most of the non-industrial buildings in the core, and killing about a quarter of the city's population (~20,000 to ~25,000 people). Nearly all of those deaths were non-combatants, who were not involved in any wartime industry (i.e. women and children). Less than a fifth of the city's industry was seriously damaged, and over half wasn't even hit at all.

There's a massive amount of study that's gone into breaking down the bombing of Dresden. I can't possibly do it justice in a post, and frankly, my scholarship on the topic is decades out of date now. I wouldn't even know who to ask nowadays.

Dresden is one of those topics that I hate talking about, because most of the "issues" folks will bring up about the bombing campaign are just made up Nazi bullshit. It obfuscates the fact that there are very real and legitimate concerns about how the bombing campaign was conducted, and what the actual intentions of the attack were.

If I deleted my account every time I said something fucking stupid, I'd be on my 30th account by now. Just let it ride. Own your L's and try to improve.

Donny puts the 'spring' in 'Springfield'!

RIP bozo.

That puppet would party rock so hard on an actual leftist news show.

the bits about that agressively liberal puppet whose name I can't recall

Cody? «roll on snare drum»

Minor correction: Brace cannot post on Xwitter because that would be against Xwitter law, their social media guy is named Mehmet. Please ensure you're crediting people appropriately in the future, thanks!

(i heard the rules got more serious around here? Idk, I'm not gonna check what they are now because I'm sleepy but these people are famous and this is dunkable so take that)

If the person you're dunking on has sponsorship deals, I guarantee you're safe.

I watch it for the ads. Cody slamming back a giant glass of AG1 slop to keep the lights on will never stop being extremely fucking funny.

The road to Hell is paved with good optics.

Claims to be an owl, is actually a kiwi. Really makes you think.

haha owned

We knew this literally the day 11/9 happened. Practically everybody involved was a Saudi citizen, and what they accomplished wouldn't have been possible without some level of government cooperation.

I guess the news is that we have names, I guess?

What can I say? The man was a legendary poster.

The gag is, The Coup had that cover designed in June 2001, and it was ready to go and release mid-September. They had to pull it because it was too fucking funny after the 11th.

Whatever it is, I'm positive it's going to be nonsensical slop, because there's no The King of Comedy 2 to remake.

That's one of my very, very few red lines where I'm prepared to throw hands if I hear that shit and don't get an immediate apology.

Coincidence????

The fuck is a "drugstore"? I only visit bodegas, because I live in New York. If there isn't a bodega cat that slams my ibuprofen into a mothafuckin' salami on rye, filled with so much cheese the paper wrapping isn't see-through, it ain't New York, baybeeeee!

Is "drugstore" one if those things that the nefarious drug lord Chapo Trap House runs?

a self-trepaner who wrote a book about putting a new hole in his head?

God damn it, if the McElroy boys have taught me anything over the last decade, it's DO NOT DRILL A HOLE IN YOUR HEAD.

F'in b-holes. (burr holes)

No. Nobody here is ever joking or doing a bit. This is a deadly serious Lemmy instance.
